Do you also have the lightweight flywheel and anyone who has something similar please speak up, I need help in deciding which clutch to go with.

Default had rs4 now awe, always had LWFW

The RS4 one had no noticible differences than stock other than it grabbed better, had chatter with LWFW (AWE). Something broke in the pressure plate and so I got an AWE Stage 2 clutch kit from them. The feel is great, the difficulty of clutch engagement is great, but now i have a slight clutch chatter and less LWFW chatter.

Default this clutch was made for us about a year ago ...

I tested this setup on the streets and at the drags. it feels great and holds alot of POWER.
with this setup you have to run a LWFW based on the disk setup . I have had them make me other setups that work very well on stock flywheel . if you are interested please email me for pricing .

Default I run one (plus their LWFW) on my DD/ track **** and love it, it is a great all around setup

because my wife can still jump in the car and drive it if need be yet it will hold all the power i can throw at it from autocross, and road cousre to the drags i have yet to find a down side. Even traffic is not bad like i thought it would be, this is due to the flywheel being just a little heavier than the others out there. I have well over 100 (not even counting out on the streets at night) hard launches on it and it is still just fine. When i had to pull my car apart for transmission issues i inspected the whole setup and it looked great after roughly 4k miles and 13 nights at the strip with around 5 runs a night. this setup is night and day with the RS4 setup that i use to run and of course it makes the stock one look dumb.
I have sold these to many locals and all are very impressed and have similar feelings as I do. NO.BRAZIL here on the board also got one from me, hopefully he will chime in. When you make up your mind on what you want be sure to keep me in mind.

Default I have the stage 4 6 puck on my car and I am very happy with it....you will get a little

shuddering when it is cold but once it warms up it is surprisingly smooth. The pedal feel is identical to the RS4 clutch. One thing I would do, if you have not already is get a snub and DTS...when I got my DTS on there was a noticable difference.

please note this does depend on your set up.

If I am not mistaken, that is the cost of the flywheel alone.

Default Their LWFW is an additional $850,

or you can get one from ECS for $700 or the Fidanza from ebay for $380. Personally, I went the ebay route.
